In the meantime, Martinez is showing Moyes and everyone else what Everton's players were always capable of.
News is that Moyes is negotiating a return to UK football for Gareth Bale, which seems odd given that the latter has got over his early disappointments in Madrid, and Andres Iniesta, though I find it hard to believe a player of that statute would come to the UK, but who knows? Some of the players inherited from Ferguson are slated to go in January, probably Hernandez (big mistake), Ashley Young, Welbeck, with retirements for Carrick, and probably by the end of the season Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra. He could do without Fellaini, but so could most clubs. In other words, Moyes must do what Ferguson did not -and crucially, strengthen the mid-field. United must win all their games between today and the New Year to remain in contention for the top 4, and it is still possible. After Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, it is either Liverpool or Man U for the 4th spot as the rest will fall away toward the end of the season. Suarez is in blistering form, but I think Liverpool are still a weak side in defence and that Man U will make it.

Liverpools problem is our midfield, thats a massive problem for us which is why people automatically say "weak defense" - it is the midfield that has the holes in though, a left back wouldn't hurt either.
Hmmm, so Fellaini is a midfielder? I thought he was just a waste of space...Kagawa is also on the way out.Quote:

Question about Moyes is -will he be allowed to fail? And for how long? Ferguson failed many times but over the long haul brought in the awards. If there is a core problem it is the stingy owners...
No one rates agger ! i mean its why man city / barcelona want him every summer..:D
i mean if you remember old teams so well, name a current prem centre back that moves with the swAGGER of alan hansen.... clue there for you ;-) x
Yaya Toure? apologies for the spelling...
he is a midfielder :) his brother who we now have... who has never been the same since arsenal is the centre back. :D
Liverpool looked just as irresistible yesterday as did Man C on Saturday. And they showed that they can play well without Stevie G. Lucas was quietly influential and Jordan Henderson had his best game so far in a red shirt. Coutinho continues to look an absolute steal at £6.5m. If Suarez keeps his temper there's no saying how far they can go this season. And they don't have any European distractions either.
However, it could all come down to away form in the end and the number of points chalked up on the road and none of the top six are showing consistency when playing away.
benderson is boss when gerrard doesnt play, or excels should we say and he gets to play his own role.... will find out if he can do it week in, week out, in the near future ;-)
listen to you robert!:D you had brekky with statto?!
p.s benderson is a term of affection cos he looks like he could be out of geordieshore althoughh he is not a geordie why ayeee like???

OK, my Uncle Billy played for them back in the sixties, but it's the way that the great Liverpool teams played that I love, and Rogers is gradually getting them back to those virtues. And the fact that you, my darling little scouse moppet, are a lifelong fan is the purest coincidence. :whistle:
January signings? Xabi Alonso if he'll come back for a swansong, Bertrand from Chelsea at left back plus a fallback striker. And they should be at the front of the queue for the Dundee Utd wunderkind Ryan Gauld. All my mates back home are raving about him, "the next Dalglish", no less.
if you can believe the media we got 1st dibs on hughes from derby and gauld from dundee.....Quote:

Oh, and Steve Clarke - unjustly imo - and AVB bite the dust in three days. Who's next? Big Sam?
Does that mean he punches people in bars late at night when they play music he doesn't like?Quote:

Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me, we've got a groovy kind of love x
Think both these sackings are a bit harsh. Clarke has not done too much wrong at WBA, certainly not been getting hammered by anyone but their big miss was not managing to get Lakaku back on loan again. If they had Clarke would still be in a job.Quote:

Between Liverpool, City & Arsenal for the title this year - deffo more interesting than normal that's for sure
Spurs are where you expect.... without considering the 115million they spent :D with 115million spent..... they gotta be top 4 at worst.
Where as Liverpool, 7th 8th in terms of squad value and wage bill....we just need top 4 back and a good summer and and...:|
115 million is a hell of a lot of money to spend I agree but with 85 million in for Bale it's only a net spend of 30 million so I don't see how they can automatically expect top 4 for spending that especially with so many new faces, so much money in football these days that patience is rarely shown.
Liverpool at worst will finish 3rd Sammi but I wouldn't be too surprised if they won it & with the added bonus of Utd being nowhere near.....should make for a good year for you :dancing:
Not sure what a dreary 60s pop tune has to with it. Who is Phil Collins anyway?Quote:

So you think Chelski are out of it? They have a deeper squad than either Arsenal or Liverpool and Mourinho's wily enough to get the best out of them.Quote:

And it will be weird to see Man U in the Europa League.....
Think Chelsea/Mourinho shot himself in the foot when he let Lakaku go out on loan for the season again - Eto'o, Torres & Ba are not good enough strikers to win the league & they have already conceded more goals this season then the last time they won the Prem...
Blame the owner methinks. I preferred it when we won 1-0 every week and were Champions. You can't have it both ways.
i preferred it then was well.Quote:

he will go to wigan, to sample a pie and blackpool away on a wet friday night
He is destined for Torquay, been dating Helen Chamberlain on the quiet & has fallen in love with the English south-west coastline FACT
Nailed on !!
I have barely heard of Wigan let alone Helen Chamberlain, whoever she is. As for pies, don't be fooled, those working class lads from Buenos Aires like all sorts of pies. Lots of beef in Argentina, Ms Valentine.
